Chronic nerve pain, or neuropathic pain, is a complex pain state that is usually accompanied by tissue injury. The American Chronic Pain Association explains that with chronic nerve pain, the nerve fibers themselves may be damaged, dysfunctional, or injured and these damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to other pain centers. Chronic nerve pain has no obvious cause, but some common causes include: alcoholism, amputation, chemotherapy, diabetes, shingles, back, leg, and hip problems, and spine surgery.

Symptoms of neuropathic pain include:

Shooting and burning pain

Tingling and numbness

Treatment for chronic nerve pain varies depending on the cause. Unfortunately, chronic nerve pain often responds poorly to standard pain treatments and occasionally may get worse instead of better over time. Ongoing research is needed to better treat and relieve chronic nerve pain.

The Atlanta Center for Medical Research was founded in 1982 by Dr.
Robert A. Riesenberg and is now one of the largest and most respected
medical research institutions in the country. ACMR’s 150,000-square-foot,
state-of-the-art, open-source research facility is a game changer for the
medical research world. ACMR’s practices set the standard for medical
research, facilitating the availability of safe and effective medicine to
people everywhere.
